To compliment their QuickTime 6 Pro move, Apple actually did something pretty cool. They released QuickTime Broadcaster, which is an application for creating streams for broadcasting. The bonus here: it's FREE. Couple this with being able to use Darwin Streaming Server (Broadcaster can publish to it) and it means I can most probably set up a nice little mac driven setup for doing broadcasts.

The only down side is they haven't put up the release of Darwin Streaming Server for OS X. So I'd have to compile it by hand, no big deal really. Of course if I was running OS X Server I could run QuickTime Streaming Server, but I'll cope.
